When I was a kid I saw a light
Floating high above the trees one night
Thought it was an alien
Turned out to be just god

>Fluorescent store lights, you shine through the night
>Illuminate my pores and you tear me apart
>Mercy on me, would you please spare me tonight?
>I'm tired of this searching, would you let me let go?
>I know my room is a mess, over and over again
>I tell myself I'll clean tomorrow
>Just move the stuff up off the bed and do what you came here to do
>But first open up a window for me
>And let the cool air in, feel the night slip in
>As it softly glides along your back
>And I hope you leave right before the sun comes up
>So I can watch it alone

They said, "There's too much caffeine
In your bloodstream
And a lack of real spice in your life"
I said, "Leave me alone
Because I'm alright, dad
Surprised to still be on my own"

The Stranger, Stoner

Adam was not the first man 'though the Bible tells us so
There was one created before him, whose name we do not know
He also lived in the garden
But he had no mouth or eyes
One day Adam came to kill him
And he died beneath these skies

All pigs must die
This ain't August '69
All pigs must die
7 & 7 - Sieg Heil - sublime!
Their trotters are in the mud
They're better off with the son of God
They had no idea
Not even close, not even near
All pigs must die
This ain't August '69
All pigs must die
7 & 7 - Sieg Heil - sublime!

Idk, some Gnostic text I guess.

Death valley queen where have you been
Since they crowned you in glory
Filled your head with dreams
But it still goes to show in every desert
There's a rose that's bloomin' for all to be seen
I remember you well from that town
You did dwell with the face of an angel
In a dump hot as hell
When I asked for a kiss
You kindly dismissed
So I lead my poor heart to the slaughter
Tell me dear what did you fear
I'd do you no wrong though no stranger to sin
So death valley queen go marry your king
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain

No one will ever know
Of the dead fire in you
You'll get lost inside the noise

The boys are such a bore, the girls are such a bore
I never trust the government and pray to God for sure,
I don't need to sleep anymore
That's what the drugs are for

Snow landscapes, I see ice everywhere I go
Standing in the snow, woke up, I was blowing smoke
Holy ghost hundred years ago, when I didn't know
And your hoe wanted to go home, but you didn't know
Finna snow, always been in Rome, I was building storms
Building wars, I was getting calls from beyond the walls
Sacred halls, went inside the mall, gotta spend it all
Always something new, but I knew you were always false

Nigga nigga nigga nigga nigga nigga nigga nigga nigga

He was a most peculiar man
That's what Mrs. Reardon says, and she should know
She lived upstairs from him
She said he was a most peculiar man

He was a most peculiar man
He lived all alone within a house
Within a room, within himself
A most peculiar man
He had no friends, he seldom spoke
And no one in turn ever spoke to him
'Cause he wasn't friendly and he didn't care
And he wasn't like them
Oh, no, he was a most peculiar man

He died last Saturday
He turned on the gas and he went to sleep
With the windows closed so he'd never wake up
To his silent world and his tiny room
And Mrs. Reardon says he has a brother somewhere
Who should be notified soon
And all the people said, "What a shame that he's dead
But wasn't he a most peculiar man?"

When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime
But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight

Well, show me the way
To the next little girl
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why

For if we don't find
The next little girl
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you
I tell you we must die

A wallflower punch talks to Judy
In a crowded corner where anybody can listen in
But they don't read page to page or speak easy
Now they're gonna go say the words
In the wrong order again

They walk in a circle
Through all the sidewalk scenes they used to be apart of one time
Now everybody just stares and whispers
Driving around up and down Division Street
I used to like it here
It just bums me out to remember

I want a Hentai girl for me to make me happy
I want her so I can stop using my hand
Every single day, while watching anime
I'd pull her from my screen just like in my dreams
I want to feel her touch, really on my crotch
I want my own hentai girl and she would sing

Diary of a mad old man

Until the night is over, hold on,
hold on;
hold your horses back from the fickle dawn.

I have got some business out at the edge of town,
candy weighing both of my pockets down
till I can hardly stay afloat, from the weight of them
(and knowing how the commonfolk condemn
what it is I do, to you, to keep you warm:
Being a woman. Being a woman.)

But always up the mountainside you’re clambering,
groping blindly, hungry for anything;
picking through your pocket linings —
well, what is this?
Scrap of sassafras, eh Sisyphus?

I see the blossoms broke and wet after the rain.
Little sister, he will be back again.
I have washed a thousand spiders down the drain.
Spiders’ ghosts hang, soaked and
dangling silently, from all the blooming cherry trees,
in tiny nooses, safe from everyone —
nothing but a nuisance; gone now, dead and done —
Be a woman. Be a woman.

When you're lost in the rain in Juarez, when it's Easter time, too
And your gravity fails and negativity don't pull you through
Don't put on any airs when you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue
They got some hungry women there
And they really make a mess outta you

And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

Basic bitches wear that shit so I don't even bother
Gucci Gucci, Louis Louis, Fendi Fendi, Prada
The basic bitches wear that shit, so I don't even bother
I put that on my partner, I put that on my family
Oakland city represent, address me as your majesty
Yeah you can kiss the ring, but you can never touch the crown
I smoke a million Swisher blunts and I ain't never coming down
Bitch you ain't no Barbie I see you work at Arby's
Number 2, super-sized, hurry up I'm starving
Gnarly, radical, on the block I'm magical
See me at your college campus baggie full of Adderalls
Call me if you need a fix, call me if you need a boost
See them other chicken heads? They don't never leave the coop
I'm in the coupe cruising, I got the stolen plates
Serving all the fiends over there by the Golden Gate
Bridge, I'm colder than the fridge and the freezer

not lyrics exactly but this text on the album cover

For the love, I'd fallen on
In the swampy August dawn
What a mischief you would bring, young darling
When the onus is not all your own
When you're up for it before you've grown
Whoa-whoa
From the faun forever gone
In the towers of your honeycomb
I'd have tore your hair out just to climb back, darling
When you're filling out your only form
Can you tell that it's just ceremon'?
Now you've added up to what you're from
Whoa-whoa

The Hawk in the Rain

Feel no shame about shape
Weather changes their phrase
Even mother will show you another way
So put your glasses on

Nothing will be wrong
There's no blame, there's no fame
It's up to you, the first words should be finded
Whatever holds you back, I can, I can get it off

Sent in the Clowns

Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air,
Where are the clowns?
Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move,
Where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns?
Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there
Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry, my dear!
But where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here
Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns
Well, maybe next year

True love will find you in the end
This is a promise with a catch
Only if you're looking can it find you
'Cause true love is searching too
But how can it recognize you
Unless you step out into the light?
Don't be sad I know you will
But don't give up until
True love finds you in the end

>And the red and yellow birds come drifting by
>Reflecting in themselves the windy sky
>And you walk along beside them in a dream
>And you wonder where they’re going and where they’ve been

>And the river’s smiling bravely through the rain
>Thinks everything is really just the same
>And the rain comes down, and wets the curly hair
>Of the children playing where your memories were

Gold is for the mistress,
silver for the maid.
Copper for the craftsman,
cunning at his trade.
'Good', said the Baron,
sitting in his hall.
'But iron - cold iron,
is the master of them all.

And I do walk upon Wan's Dyke
And I do survey the land
And I did become the Reaper with my own bare hands
For I am Wodan
Though, some call me Hermes
Some call me Roman Mercury
God of cargos
God of weather
Hanging God of boundaries
Hanging God of Gibbet Hill
Killing God of hidden doorways

good song

Dachau blues those poor Jews
Dachau blues those poor Jews
Dachau blues, Dachau blues those poor Jews
Still cryin' 'bout the burnin' back in World War Two's
One mad man six million lose
Down in Dachau blues, down in Dachau blues
The world can't forget that misery
'N the young ones now beggin' the old ones please
T' stop bein' madmen
'Fore they have t' tell their children
'Bout the burnin's back in World War Three's
War One was balls 'n powder 'n blood 'n snow
War Two rained death 'n showers 'n skeletons
Dancin' 'n screamin' 'n dyin' in the ovens
Cough 'n smoke 'n dyin' by the dozens
Down in Dachau blues
Down in Dachau blues
Sweet little children with doves on their shoulders
Their eyes rolled back in ecstasy cryin'
Please old man stop this misery
They're countin' out the devil
With two fingers on their hands
Beggin' the Lord don't let the third one land
On World War Three
On World War Three

John Fruiscante - Outside Space

It had been necessary
Minora circuits by the bone, books
Get up, please, I fuck you
A sea photo grey room

Let there be any time
Systems for guys
Clinic outside
Spacesuit music, body, sex films
He ejaculated hoolahoops
Of Colorform-ed around outside
Like goodbye
The door you appear
What's this guy's switch
I got the fix and
I am the big fix
I leer looks, but I got the pain
My heart to my last city, yeah
It had been through by you
You won't cut the....

Lord, Lord, Lord I don't even
Feel like a battered photograph
If you stay near right now
He should stick twice
Round and round
I'm in a level, background
Let them see us, man
TV program
Dawning, Darla, I scream
Oooh, they're talking
About making
It all grew to the loo
Smooth...

Swans - God Damn The Sun

When,
When we were young
We had no history
So nothing to lose

Meant we could choose
Choose what we wanted then
Without any fear
Or thought of revenge

But then you grew old
And I lost my ambition
So I gained an addiction
To drink and depression

They are mine
My only true friends
And I'll keep them with me
Until the very end

I'd choose not to remember
But I miss your arrogance
And I need your intelligence
And your hate for authority

But now you're gone
I read it today
They found you in spain
Face down in the street

With a bottle in your hand
And a wild smile on your face
And a knife in your back
You died in a foreign land

And they found my letter
Rolled up in your pocket
Where I said I'd kill myself
If she left me again

So now she's gone
And you're both in my mind
I've got one thing to say
Before I am drunk again:

God damn the sun
God damn the sun
God damn anyone
That says a kind word

God damn the sun
God damn the sun
God damn the light it shines
And this world it shows

God damn the sun

YEAAAAAAHHHHHH HERE COME THE ROOSTER
YOU KNOW HE AINT GONNA DIIIIIEEEE

Might I crave a crawling imposter
Head held for miles to come
Simply slice a prayer to answer
As the daylight lets me run

Of all the schemes that you've conducted
This one makes it safe
Erasing all my fond memories
Of a life you couldn't take

We all have those disasters
They let you know they run
Can't you never stay any longer
As long as you still run

Goodbye to Love - Carpenters

I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love
has passed me by
And all I know of love
is how to live without it
I just can't seem to find it.

AND THE RAIN WILL KILL US ALL
